I know more about the subject than I care to. Run don’t walk away. Mold testing is an imperfect science since we cannot even identify all the molds that exist, therefore we cannot test for all of them.
mold can become mycotoxins and cancer causing – look it up. mycotoxins cannot be destroyed as one doctor told me.
nobody wants to give up on a house and move. sometimes the environmental cure is the only cure.
If you cannot breathe due to mold its probably aspergillus which can get inside your lungs and form a fungal ball.
the musty smell is a warning.
your LL will let you out of your lease most likely because he cannot fix it, not because he does not want to fix it.August 24, 2011 at 8:03 AM #723607disimilar1ParticipantI know more about the subject than I care to.

I had a roomie who moved into a place which had been flooded before she moved in and it was repainted without being repaired. She ended up in the ICU hooked up to machines twice and came very close to dying. If I remember correctly she had been there for a few months before being hospitalized. Because she had substantial hospital bills she got a lawyer who paid about $1000 to do a mold test on her unit. I never heard about the case being settled. Your health is not worth any amount of money and if you end up in the hospital you have to prove it was the mold that got you sick as the LL will claim it must have been something else. I agree with the other posters when I say “run!” Find a newer place.
